It might be a cliche, but sometimes, a picture says more than a thousand words. Over the years, I've often talked about how the technology world is iterative, about how products are virtually always built upon that which came before, about how almost always, multiple people independently arrive at the same products since they work within the same constraints of the current state of technology. This elementary aspect of the technology world, which some would rather forget, has been illustrated very, very well in one of Samsung's legal filings against Apple.

I know the fanboy in you is going to keep denying it, but your use cases are begging for a laptop's keyboard over a tablet's touch screen. Even a hybrid device would be fine, the trouble is you don't want to admit that apple has a deficient product line up in that area.
